SCons DVCS Migration: Task List

This page is to create a list of tasks for migrating to Mercurial. The goal is to come up with a reasonably complete set of tasks so we can have a coherent plan when we start the conversion after SCons 2.1 is released. At some point these probably get turned into Issues in the tigris.org database.

Speaking of issues: although we're going to start by just converting our development and release processes to use Mercurial, a related goal will be to convert our Issues database to whatever our hosting site uses some time after we complete the Mercurial migration (and assuming we pick a hosting site with a decent issue database). Since the discussion will likely bleed into this area, use the table below to capture ideas about how to handle the issue database migration, so we have a head start when begin to look at that seriously.
